Jimmy's Beef Stir Fry
INGREDIENTS
- Velveted beef (sliced)
- 1 head of broccoli (sliced)
- ½ thumb of ginger (sliced)
- ½ tbsp oyster sauce
- ½ tbsp dark soy sauce
- ½ tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 cloves of garlic (crushed)
- 2 tbsp Shaoxing Wine
- 1 tsp potato starch or cornflour, mixed with 50ml water
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Medium grain rice to serve
METHOD
- First you're going to velvet your beef - rub your beef with cornflour, then add your Shaoxing wine, soy sauce and a little oyster sauce. Leave this in the fridge to marinade overnight.
- Next, slice your broccoli then boil and blanch it.
- Once you're blanched the broccoli, set it to one side with all of your other prepped ingredients - make sure you're got all your ingredients close to hand as the cook time on this dish is very short and quick.
- Heat some oil in a large sided frying pan, and add in your spring onions, ginger and garlic.
- You want to keep the pan nice and hot - once your ingredients are sizzling away, add in your sliced velveted beef and it will start to sizzle.
- Toss your ingredients in the pan, then add in some more of your oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and light soy sauce..
- Once they've been tossed into the mix, add in your Shaoxing wine and fry your mix for 30 seconds.
- Finish off your dish with 1tsp of cornflour mixed with 50ml of cold water to give your stir fry that nice silky texture.
- This is also a great opportunity to add a little sesame oil too to give your food that authentic flavour.
